Esport en Guinée : Moussa Camara défend le bilan de sa fédération et plaide pour une reconnaissance du secteur
Le président de la Fédération guinéenne d’esport est revenu sur le parcours de son institution, de 2009 à 2026, tout en insistant sur le rôle stratégique de l’esport dans le développement du numérique, de l’éducation et de la cybersécurité. Il a également appelé à une meilleure intégration des acteurs du secteur dans les politiques publiques liées au digital.
Moussa Camara revendique un parcours construit sur des bases solides
Le président de la Fédération guinéenne d’esport, Moussa Camara, a animé une conférence de presse samedi 25 juillet 2026 à la Maison commune des journalistes, à Conakry. Face aux hommes de médias, il a dressé le bilan des activités de son institution depuis 2009 et défendu le travail accompli en faveur du développement de l’esport en Guinée. xsportfeed.quest
Selon lui, la fédération a bâti son développement sur des fondations solides.
« On ne peut pas construire un écosystème durable si on n’a pas un socle qui est bien bâti. Le socle prend en compte une histoire qui n’est pas inventée, mais qui est factuelle et établie. Nous avons travaillé, nous avons fait des résultats, nous avons été assujettis à un contrôle et nous avons respecté les obligations des institutions de la République », a déclaré Moussa Camara.
Le dirigeant explique que cette conférence visait également à rappeler le potentiel dont dispose la Guinée dans le domaine de l’esport et des métiers du numérique.
« La Guinée a un potentiel. Il faut savoir d’où nous venons, où nous voulons aller et surtout avec quels moyens », a-t-il souligné.
« L’esport est bien plus que du divertissement »
Face aux nombreuses idées reçues autour de la discipline, Moussa Camara a tenu à expliquer ce qu’est réellement l’esport.
« L’esport, c’est la branche du gaming. C’est l’utilisation des jeux vidéo pour se divertir, mais aussi pour former, éduquer et sensibiliser. On parle également de ludo-éducation : éduquer à travers le jeu », a-t-il expliqué.
Le président de la fédération estime que les technologies issues du gaming sont aujourd’hui utilisées dans plusieurs secteurs, notamment la formation professionnelle grâce aux simulateurs, ainsi que dans différents domaines nécessitant des outils numériques de simulation.
Pour illustrer son propos, il a insisté sur la nécessité de dépasser la simple perception ludique des jeux vidéo.
« Nous voulons que l’on comprenne que l’esport, ce n’est pas seulement le divertissement. C’est bien plus que cela », a-t-il affirmé.
Un plaidoyer pour intégrer les acteurs de l’esport aux politiques numériques
Au-delà de la pratique compétitive, Moussa Camara considère que les compétences développées dans l’écosystème de l’esport peuvent contribuer aux enjeux numériques du pays.
Il a notamment évoqué les questions liées aux réseaux, à la cybersécurité et à la qualité des infrastructures Internet.
« Nous devons, en tant qu’acteurs de l’esport, prendre part aux discussions. L’atterrissage du câble sous-marin, il faut que nous soyons là pour apporter notre expertise. Ce que nous faisons, ce n’est pas seulement envoyer des mails ou publier des vidéos sur Facebook, c’est aussi garantir la qualité des connexions et comprendre les infrastructures numériques », a-t-il soutenu.
Le président de la fédération a également indiqué poursuivre un master en cybersécurité, estimant que plusieurs professionnels issus de l’univers du gaming exercent aujourd’hui dans des secteurs stratégiques.
Enfin, Moussa Camara a lancé un appel en faveur d’une meilleure reconnaissance des acteurs de l’esport en Guinée. « Ce que nous souhaitons, c’est rétablir la vérité, faire en sorte que les jeunes Guinéens puissent travailler ensemble. Pour cela, il faut que la vérité soit dite et que nous nous sentions intégrés dans cette volonté », a-t-il conclu.

Vilakazi nets winner as Da Cruz bags first trophy as Chiefs coach
Kaizer Chiefs edged Scottland FC of Zimbabwe 1-0 to win the annual Toyota Cup at a packed Royal Bafokeng Stadium on Sunday.
Mfundo Vilakazi scored the only goal of the match in the first half.
New coach Fernando da Cruz gave a start to new signing Adolf Mtasingwa Bitegeko, while other new recruits goalkeeper Renaldo Leaner and defender Thabo Moloisane started on the bench.
As for the visitors, coach Norman Mapeza named former Amakhosi duo Khama Billiat and Knowledge Musona in his starting line-up.
It was an entertaining first half with both teams showing good intensity but Chiefs created the better chances. although Amakhosi are still missing that clinical edge in the final third.
It didn’t come as a surprise though when Vilakazi gave Chiefs the lead when he pounced on a loose ball in the box before calmly slotting the ball past the goalkeeper, much to the delight of the fans who packed the stadium.
“Obrigado”, as Vilakazi is commonly known in football circles, was one of the standout performers in the first half, constantly causing problems with his pace, but Chiefs lacked the killer instinct in front of goal.
Scottland slowly found the rhythm as the game progressed and were able to create some half chances of their own, but none of them was able to trouble Chiefs goalkeeper Brandon Petersen.
Chiefs were dealt a blow just before the half-time break when defender Bradley Cross, who was playing at centre back alongside Inacio Miguel, picked up a knock and was replaced by Given Msimango.
Chiefs led 1-0 at the break.
Chiefs continued to control the game in the second half, but, unlike the first half, both teams failed to create any meaningful chances in the second stanza.
The first chance of the half fell to Scottland in the 57th minute when Musona broke through on the right and delivered a perfect cross, but Petersen was alert to the danger and came out of his area to collect the ball.
Itiosa Ighodaro came close to doubling Chiefs’ lead with a header in the 72nd minute, but the ball went narrowly over the crossbar.
The visitors were awarded a free kick in a good area to grab a late equaliser in referee’s optional time, but Musona sent his shot over the crossbar.

McCaw’s All Blacks v Siya’s Springboks: Who is the greatest?
The All Blacks from 2011 to 2019 or the Springboks from 2019 to 2026? Who is the greatest World Cup-winning team in the professional era of rugby?
Rugby’s Greatest Rivalry Tour, the All Blacks first tour to South Africa in 30 years, will become a reality in the first week of August.
The two nations have dominated the World Cup, with seven out of 10 titles. They hold the last four titles.
But the million dollar question is which of the these back-to-back world champion teams is the greatest in the professional era.
How have they stacked up in between World Cups while still World Cup holders?
All Blacks v Springboks
Richie McCaw’s All Blacks won the World Cup in 2011 and 2015. Siya Kolisi’s Springboks won the World Cup in 2019 and 2023.

Kolisi is still going in search of an unprecedented third successive World Cup title but McCaw bowed out after the 2015 World Cup final win against Australia at Twickenham.
Both were/are incredible eras for the most successful teams in the history of the World Cup (seven titles combined from 10 tournaments). But who, in the world of opinion, weighted against statistics, gets the gold, right now?

What the statistics support
- New Zealand were the more dominant week-to-week Test team.
- 99 wins from 113 Tests.
- 87.6% win rate.
- Six Rugby Championship titles.
- South Africa have matched New Zealand’s World Cup achievement.
- Two consecutive Rugby World Cups.
- An unbeaten knockout record across the two winning campaigns (6 from 6).
- A British & Irish Lions series victory.
A balanced historical conclusion
The statistics show two different expressions of greatness rather than providing definitive proof that one era eclipsed the other.
Am fired up for four-Test blockbuster
Lukhanyo Am believes there are few occasions in world rugby that compare to facing the All Blacks as the Springboks prepare for the Rugby’s Greatest Rivalry series.
The two old foes will meet four times in August and September, with the series kicking off at Ellis Park on 22 August before Tests at Cape Town Stadium, FNB Stadium and Baltimore’s MT&T Bank Stadium in the United States.
For Am, who has experienced some of the biggest occasions in the game, clashes against New Zealand rank alongside rugby’s premier events.
“I think facing the All Blacks has been the greatest rivalry of all time,” said the World Cup-winning centre.
“As a player, having the opportunity to experience this is really amazing. I think it’s definitely in the top three – the World Cup, the British & Irish Lions and the Greatest Rivalry. So I’m really excited.”
PLUS: All Blacks for Rugby’s Greatest Rivalry named
Am said the rivalry had captivated him long before he pulled on the green and gold.
“I always wanted to face the haka,” he said. “The men in black have always been one of the greatest Test teams. Growing up watching that, and now getting the chance to face them, has been really amazing.”
KEO: King Kolisi’s reign is not over
The 32-year-old expects another fiercely contested series, despite the All Blacks being in a rebuilding phase under head coach Dave Rennie.
“There definitely will be a couple of changes, as we’ve already seen in their squad,” Am said.
“There’s young, exciting players that have been backed. But when it comes between the four lines, we just have to get into each other’s heads and hopefully the best team will win.”
ALSO: All Blacks for Rugby’s Greatest Rivalry named
Am also believes New Zealand’s strength lies in the continuity of their game, regardless of who wears the jersey.
“Whoever slots into their side, it just happens so smoothly because their style of play doesn’t really change based on personnel. They play the same style of rugby,” he said.
